T11 – Xunantunich Mayan Ruins & Inland Blue Hole

First, participants will get a chance to visit the enormous ancient Maya city of Xunantunich. The Maya name of the city means “Maiden of the Rock” because a ghostly female figure has been seen haunting the ruins for more than a century.

Afterwards, participants will drive to the Inland Blue Hole, a naturally occurring sinkhole in the middle of the jungle. The waters have an bright sapphire color, and the Inland Blue Hole is the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing swim on a hot day.

After a journey along the panoramic Hummingbird Highway, you’ll reach the hilltop fortress of the Maya city of Xunantunich “Maiden of the Rock”. Once the center of a city-state that fed and housed hundreds of people, Xunantunich features the second-tallest temple in the country.

The Inland Blue Hole is a large sinkhole nearly perfectly circular in diameter that is located in St. Herman’s Blue Hole National Park. Named the inland blue hole to distinguish it from the offshore Blue Hole in the Belize Barrier Reef, the hole is known for its brilliantly sapphire waters and is a popular destination for swimming.
